He matched up with Carey so well the legend was born.
It's like calling Nathan Bower a legend because he often nullified the champion Peter Matera.

So I guess now that Adelaide are going to finish top 4 because of their unfair advantage we can play the granny at the G again? or do we have to play the granny at this Barossa golf course?
what I'm really wondering is how the golf club management allowed a bunch of camrys on the green

"One thing we don’t do is we don’t want to whinge, we don’t want to complain about it, it is what it is and we get on with it, we like to think that’s how we project things over here, but you know, there’s a challenge to it."

Excerpt from "Birds of Australia":
The first-born eaglet will bully it's younger brother, mercilessly stealing its food in an attempt to outgrow it, after which, if successful, it may try to push its sibling out of the high nest. After fledging, it will spend the rest of its life on the wing, engaging in diving displays and screeching about how far it has to fly.
By contrast, the young crow will camp almost anywhere and is often seen in large flocks, on golf courses and the like. The best clue to a crow's identity is the territorial advertisement call, accompanied by exaggerated jerky chest-pumping and promenading, interspersed with statue-like staring. If this proves to be unsuccessful, the crow will enter a period of unpredictable moulting.

Though the tiger is a solitary animal, where a number of these cats occur together the correct name for the group is a 'streak' or an 'ambush' of tigers.
A group of crows is called a “murder.”

West Australian and South Australian clubs to be denied home games due to border controls when AFL resumes
Four clubs won’t host AFL matches when the season resumes as strict border controls force the league’s hand on a revamped fixture for the remainder of 2020.
The AFL will unveil a revamped footy fixture next week without any home games for the four clubs west of the border.
West Coast, Fremantle, Adelaide and Port Adelaide will all be denied home matches for at least the first part of the season under the league’s complex attempt to get the 2020 competition restarted.
But only an abridged fixture detailing the first few rounds of action will be released, giving the AFL flexibility for scheduling in the back half of the season if strict border restrictions in South Australia and Western Australia are eased.
The Crows and the Power are set to receive a special government exemption, permitting them from avoiding the state’s strict 14-day quarantine rules after returning home from interstate matches.
But interstate teams will not be permitted to enter SA, meaning the two Adelaide teams will be forced to play all of their games on the road until restrictions are lifted.
The Western Australian Government is taking an even harder line and will not allow the Eagles and Dockers to fly in and out of Perth without a two-week quarantine.
The two WA clubs will instead be forced to relocate to an eastern seaboard state, most likely Victoria, to allow the competition to restart as early as Thursday, June 18.
WA Health Minister Roger Cook said the AFL’s preferred ‘fly in, fly out’ model was too risky.
“This government won't compromise on the health and safety of its citizens,” Mr Cook said.
“There is no confidence the AFL can maintain infection control and prevent infection spread among players and staff under the current proposed model. There is a risk it could contribute to the further spread of the virus.”
No formal decision has been made in South Australia but Premier Steve Marshall said on Thursday: “It’s quite possible that in the early stages (of the season) South Australian teams will only be playing away games before other teams will be permitted to come back into South Australia.
“South Australian players might be able to train here, stay here in their home state, go out for games but then return in a sort of a semi-quarantine situation, so they can still train and they can still get to the next game.
“That’s one of the options that’s being considered but a lot of it is going to depend on when is the season starting and what the infection rate is with the various jurisdictions at that time.”
Hawthorn president Jeff Kennett has hit out at Tasmanian premier Peter Gutwein for suggesting the state is unwilling to host AFL games without crowds.
“I've got to say that's very shortsighted and very selfish,” Kennett said of the Apple Isle decision.
Crows CEO Andrew Fagan said: “Our wish will always be to play games under a traditional home and away format, which includes hosting opposition teams at Adelaide Oval and in a perfect world with our members and fans in attendance to cheer us on.
“However, in these unprecedented times, we will always heed the advice and direction of medical experts and acknowledge that we must put the health and wellbeing of the community first and foremost.
“With this in mind, our club is open minded and willing to be flexible to ensure the return of football as soon as possible.
“We are also aware of ongoing discussions between the AFL and State Government, albeit our club is not directly involved.”

Adelaide players face investigation over alleged breach of AFL training protocols
Adelaide has revealed details about the players caught allegedly breaching strict training protocols, including that it had special police permission to train while self-isolating.
Adelaide is in the dark over potential sanctions for players allegedly caught breaching strict training protocols and social distancing rules in the Barossa Valley.
The players, who were self-isolating after returning to South Australia in preparation for a return to training, were seen training in a large group at a private golf course resort with footballs on Thursday afternoon.
Crows chief executive Andrew Fagan confirmed they were training in groups of eight for part of the training session.
The players, most of which are first-to-fourth-year players, had been granted special permission by South Australian police to train in pairs while self-isolating rather than being forced to stay indoors.
The Crows are unsure if sanctions will be a matter for the AFL or the club.
“It would be inappropriate for me to guess at the sanctions at the moment and how they might apply, we just have to go through that process,” Fagan told Triple M.
The breach comes only a day after Brisbane chief executive Greg Swann called a ban of at least 10 matches for players found deliberately breaching biosecurity protocols when the AFL season resumes.
A league spokesman said the AFL was “taking the matter very seriously”.
The AFL added: “We have been very clear about the importance of all clubs adhering to the protocols and take this matter extremely seriously.”
Sixteen Crows players are staying at the resort as part of the state’s strict 14-day quarantine rules after returning to South Australia from interstate locations.
The club confirmed South Australian police were made aware of where the players were self-isolating.
AFL players are not permitted to train in groups of more than two to ensure fairness before full training for all 18 clubs resumes.
Crows football boss Adam Kelly said: “The club had become aware that players, who are being accompanied by an assistant coach who is also serving a mandatory self-isolation period, may have breached the league’s directive to only train in pairs during a scheduled session on Thursday afternoon.
“Players were told to complete any training in accordance with current AFL training protocols, which include not training in more than pairs and at all times maintaining social distancing, while staying at the facility.
“It appears this may not have happened for the entirety of a skills session and we are in the process of gathering the facts and liaising with the AFL.”
The golf resort is closed to the public.
The Crows have a history of AFL breaches including the 2012 Kurt Tippett salary cap cheating affair.

I find it a bit odd that SA & WA Govt's are apparently coming out so strong about this now - actual games are unlikely to start until July - seems a little premature.West Australian and South Australian clubs to be denied home games due to border controls when AFL resumes

God knows how this will develop over the next 7 weeks - by then the 2 week border control thingo may have been lifted.

I rate Grundy highly.But his performance in the prelim last year as a Ruckman of his standard in those last few minutes was appalling.Gawn in his biggest game of his career,The prelim against wce was worse than Grundys effort,Yet they saw fit to take both ahead of a player who has made big games into his own playground.
Don't get me started on Shedda missing out.
